Our Lakes and Ponds,

From the At6qnV Ga y Nslcs and Adrsrttser.
The lakes and ponds throughout South
west Georgia are no longer what they
once were. They seem to be gradually
drying up. Places where large sheets OF
water stood through winter and summer,
up to few years ago, are now dry, and
such large bodies of water as the Alli-
gator pond, Rawls pond and Rush pond
have receded IN their banks until they no
longer look like the great lakes that they
were up to few years ago.
All the ponds and lakes in this region
were materially affected by the great
drought OF 1888, and most of the smaller
ponds went entirely dry.
Since that time the basins where the
ponds formerly stood do not seem to hold
water as formerly. The earth beneath
them is evidently dry and thirsty, or has
become so pOrus that the water runs of
through it.
The past winter has not been an unusu.
ally dry one. Although we have mad no
great freshets, still the rainfall has been
about upon au average Of other ordinary
winters in this region; vet the water
reservoirs are as low as they have ever
been known. OF the smaller ponds only
those that have lime rock or pipe claysbot.
toms have stood the succession of
droughts through which the country has
passed.
This country is evidently undergoing o
change, and the conditions OF the change
are such as to materially affect the lakes
and ponds. We have hut few running
streams in this immediate section OF coun-
try. We have none OF the little running
branches, fed by springs, that abound in
the upper portion of the State, and that
are also found in some parts of Southern
and southeast Georgia. Our lakes and
ponds are, therefore, when we get away
from the Flint river and three or four
large creeks that flow into it. essential for
stock purposes. The general health OF
this section is improving with the grad
ual change to which we have referred,
however, and it may be that the dlsap-
pearance of the ponds will, in the end,
prove blessing in disguise. 1t certainly
would If every farmer could have his arte-
sian well.

A MANAGERS ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN AND
woMEN--A JEALOUS PLATFORM.


l happened into the Office of Man
ager A. M Palmer a few days ago
when this subject was touched upon.
Mr.. Palmer is president OF the Actors
fund aud is man of liberal education.
He is known all over this country and
in Europe. He has one of the best
libraries of dramatic literature IN this
country. He has helped hundreds of
young men and women to get on the
stage. He talked freely and frankly
on the subject. l asked him:
"What chance does the dramatic
profession offer to young men aud
women 7"
The same chance that the studio at
fords, that the pen affords--given
equal industry, patience, taste, talent
aud fitness for the calling, success is
as possible and as probable on the
stage as in any other profession" he
replied.
"If you were asked by young man
or woman with a desire to go on the
stage for an opinion, would you advise
them to do 80, or to seek profession
al or commercial life 7"
GAS a rule, I repeat, should say
avoid the stage. What is called talent
on the stage means simply a peculiar
temperament, which for lack of bet
ter adjective, we generally call the
'mmetic temperament. 1T is very
| doubtful that either Caesar, Napoleon
or Washington would have made as
good an actor as many man, whose
intellect compared to theirs would bt

ocean. Without this popularity oi
Temperament marked success is al
most unattsinable even by the most in

temperament is .rare--far more rare

temperament exists in man. should
not deter him from going on the stage.

From the st. Paul Globe.
A thrilling though true story relating
to a prominent merchant of St. Paul,
but who is now visiting the lake, has
Just leaksd out. The man in question
had attended a fashionable dinner
party and had imblbed rather freely Of
champagne, so much 80 that on return
ing to his office he felt an irresistible
impulse to play on somebody practi-
cal joke. His quick wit soon came to
his rescue. Managing to reach his
telephone he called up an undertaken,
and representing himself to be the
Coroner, ordered him to come immedi-
ately and remove dead man. He
telephoned to another undertaken the
same message, and still another. Not
satisfied yet he called fourth--urging
them to hasten. He then threw him
self on sofa to await the fun.
He soon, however, went to sleep,
and when the undertakers came he was
dozing away in half-drunken stupor.
The undertakers soon understood the
situation and whispered short time
among themselves.
A few minutes after they we're seen
to carry one of the boxes into the
office, and soon returning with it, lift
ing it with much exertion into the
wagon. When the man awoke he
found himself stark naked on a marble
slab in dissecting room of promi-
nent establishment of st. Paul. Let
ine see,' said thin, gaunt young G
fellow, who was sharpening scalpel,
'shall we cut out his left lung first or
his right 2" The intoxicated man be-
gan to doubt whether he was dead or
alive The cold sweat began to come
out on his forehead. He found him
self unable to move muscle or utter
word.
"Oh, it don't make much difference"
ans wered the person addressed, still
more ghastly looking specimen, who
was wiping long dissecting knife
near the head of the doomed man.
"We can sever the jugulsr first and
then decide what TO do As he spoke
he put his cold, wet hand on the shoul-
der of the man and held the knife as if
about to dissect him. The man admits
that the sensation was peculiar; the
touch of the hand, however, acted like
an electric shock, and with piercing
yell, the "dead man. jumped several
feet away from his prosecutors and
reached the outside of the door, only
to hear them roar with laughter az

When washing glass. slip it into the
water so that Ethe inside and outside
touch the water at once. The reason
glasses break ia cause the side which
is tirst put in expands more quickly
Than the other. Wash glasses in hot
soapy water and wipe at once on dry
linen towel, to make them glossy.

soapy water as it dima its brightness,
bat old silver that has always been
washed thus, may look better when

should never be wet, nor should the
blades be put in too hot water as they
may expand, cracking the handles.
